Amber Valley is an unincorporated community in northern Alberta, Canada, approximately 160 kilometres north of Edmonton. Its elevation is 608 m. Originally named Pine Creek, Amber Valley was among several Alberta communities settled in the early 20th century by early Black immigrants to the province from Oklahoma and the Deep South of the United States.

Amber Valley is the location of the Obadiah Place provincial heritage site, a homestead of one of the first African-American settler families.
